Mr.Miller brought up a great point about how the people in the books don't know what is going on in their society. I think that in Fahrenheit 451 the characters, especially Montag, and his wife are unaware of what is going on around them. One character that I am still unsure of is Clarisse. I think that Clarisse knows things that some of the other characters don't. Part of me believes that, due to her great since of curiosity about the way people are living in this community, she knows of other communities that run differently. Montag's wife is someone that I am confident has no idea what is going on in the society. I'm not sure if she even knows what is going on in her own personal life. She definitely gave the message that something was wrong when she overdosed, almost died, and didn't recall any of it as a result. I think that the characters will come to see the big picture of their society, and learn how it works. I hope that they try to change things as well. In one part of the book, when they are hiding the books in their house because they don't want to get caught with the books, I think that part of the reason the characters aren't involved or aware of their society is because they are afraid to see what it is about, and how it works. I think that it scares them that they may face consequences for doing things that aren't acceptable to their society.
